Well I am not going to get around to sending Christmas cards out this year…sorry folks:). I feel bad about that but I just don’t have time. So….just for the fun of it, and because it just feels Christmasy, at lunch today I had the thought that it would be fun to do some gifty Christmasy thing for at least ONE of my web friends LOL. <\/p>\n
So here is what I am going to do:). I am going to send a little christmas present to someone (who is willing to give me their physical mailing address LOL). This gift will also include a copy of our Family Disney Trip DVD (just for the fun of it:) once I am finished with it (which means the gift will be sent in January). Of course, someone else’s family DVD will be of minimal interest to most of my friends HOWEVER I have found that kids like to watch family videos of other kids. Tanner and Ty enjoy watching Hannah and Joshua’s Disney video and Kathy told me that the Fletcher and Ellison kids love to watch it too. So that backs up my theory:). I have so many people tell me that there kids love to watch the Ty videos over and over on the computer so I am guessing that small children might like to watch Tanner and Ty Disney stuff as alternative entertainment LOL. Definitely no profanity but there is a tiny bit of violence LOL.<\/p>\n
This is how this will work. Instead of choosing a random number, I will in a moment look at my email inbox and see how many personal emails are sitting there (I delete all the spam and business or non personal emails out right away). These are not emails that are read versus unread….just the exact number total sitting in my inbox right now. I will write that number down. On Christmas Eve morning I will determine the winner (whoever comes the closest to the actual number) and I will post the winner’s name:)<\/p>\n
Here are the contest rules.<\/p>\n
*Family members may not play. You are getting gifts and the DVD from me anyhow:)
\n*Heidi is the only person who may know the approximate number of emails in my inbox because we have talked about it – you may not ask her:).
\n*You can submit only one number. If you submit a number someone else submitted (ironies do happen) – than the one who submitted it first will be the one that counts:)
\n*You must submit by using the comments on THIS posting or it won’t count. <\/p>\n
Why am I doing this? I don’t know…it just seems fun. Am I just goofy? I like to enter little contests where I might win something…just because:). Just feels entertaining to me. If it actually turns out to BE fun, maybe it will become a Christmas tradition – who knows?:)j<\/p>\n
Wishing you all a merry CHRISTmas!<\/p>\n
